I joined way back in June, and then totally failed to commit. Thanks for the warm welcome back then - I did READ a ton. I didn't want to re-introduce myself until I'd actually proven I was willing to do the hard work this time, so I'm 2 weeks in (no slips no cheats and no excuses) and down 4 pounds and feeling like this is really it. :-) Promising myself a vacation in one year if I meet my goal (which is a pretty modest goal; not where I hope to ultimately end up, but more do-able).
